TIP #3: 3 Tools That Make Nursing School a Breeze

Okay, enough of the mushy stuff.

Let’s get on with tip #3.

Today I want to share with you a few tools that I used during nursing school that helped me keep organized and stay on top of the assignments as well as communicate with my classmates.

If you use these tools right you will suddenly have so much more time to focus on what really matters: learning and patient care.

Tool #1: Private Facebook Groups

No doubt you have used Facebook groups in the past, but I want to show you how Facebook groups can help with nursing school.

You can use a private Facebook Group for the following things:

Create the group with the students from your cohort to communicate on assignment due dates.

Only invite those individuals from your cohort.

Make the group private so other students and instructors are not able to access your private messages.

Private chat with members regarding your frustrations.

Share tips and study guides with other members.

The private FB group I had with the students in my cohort saved me HOURS and HOURS of headaches regarding assignments.

It also allowed me to vent some of my frustrations about tests, teachers, assignments, clinical, etc. . . you get the picture.

How do I create a private FB Group?

On the left panel of your FB home page there is a tab for all the groups you are in. Click on the “MORE” button.

On the next screen click on the “+Create Group” button.

Fill in the information about your group.

Keep the group private. Either Closed or Secret is best for this.

You will need to be friends with the people in your cohort that you want to add to the group.

From there it is like a normal FB Page where you can add posts, pics, etc . . . to keep members up to date.

Tool #2: Dropbox

Dropbox is a lifesaver for me.

What Dropbox does is allow you to save documents to the “Cloud” meaning that you can access them from anywhere in the world.

You can also install Dropbox on your computer, laptap, or phone. By doing this, anytime you edit a document on any computer anywhere in the world . . . not only does it update online, but it also automatically updates the file on those devices that have Dropbox installed.

I first started using Dropbox after a fiasco of losing a clinical write up during nursing school.

After getting over the devastation of losing my hard work I was introduced to Dropbox and my life has changed forever. Oh . . . and the best part?

Conclusion: This email is starting to get a bit long! And I have only shared 3 amazing tools with you.

I can tell you that these tools saved me so much headache, heartache, and stress while in nursing school.

I am confident that it can save you the same stress and troubles!

I am so excited for you to be working toward becoming a nurse. This is such an amazing career! You can do amazingly well . . . and amaze yourself with what you are capable of . . . trust me . . . I did it!

Happy Nursing!
